Fire drills are considered a crucial part of keeping everyone safe and prepared in cases of fire. In addition, these drills allow you to know what to do if a fire starts at school or work.

A Before Checklist

Before a fire drill, you should know the building's evacuation plan. If you're working at a new location, this is often explained on your first day. The evacuation protocol should also include instructions whenever the Fire Alarms Surrey rings. Aside from this, know at least two ways out of the building and the meeting point where people should head to in cases of fire.

security Walton-on-Thames should also be able to explain to you the basics of using a fire extinguisher. Furthermore, they should also be equipped to answer questions about alarm points and the list of things to do in case you discover an actual fire.

A During Checklist

We just explained some of the things you need to do before a fire drill. So, what do you need to do and know during a fire drill or an actual fire? Well, first and foremost, it's important for you to stay calm at all times. Don't panic and be quiet so you can hear the instructions given by the fire marshalls. One of the most important yet neglected facts in a fire drill is that people should treat it as if there was a real fire. This means stopping what you're doing when you hear the alarm.

If you have not been appointed a fire marshall, then you should follow the instructions of a fire marshall. Always move in an orderly fashion and use the nearest fire exit to leave. On the off chance that you're not yet familiar with the area, look for signs.

Another thing to remember during a fire drill is that you must close the door behind you. This is because it will stop the flow of oxygen through the building. In addition, leave the lights on so that firefighters and security Walton-on-Thames can better see and assess the situation. Of course, there is no actual fire during a fire drill but it's important to keep all of these in mind.

We’ve been talking about what to do during fire drills, but since you are expected to act as if there’s an actual fire, even if it’s just a fire drill, all of these rules apply. In cases of fire, they will use fire alarms Surrey, and while we understand that hearing the alarms can be nerve-racking, you have to remind yourself to keep your cool.

Some of the things to avoid include using the elevators, treating it as a joke, not being serious, and running and being loud.
